Almost all Alfredo Sauces have lots of fat, calories, and cholesterol. The recipe below uses less butter and half-and-half instead of heavy cream to reduce the fat down to 1/10th and calories to less than half of other recipes. It still isn't celery-and-prune healthy, but it's a lot better than most.

Serves
6 servings (1 pound of pasta)

Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/4 cups half-and-half
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 pinches of salt
1 pinch of pepper

Directions
Melt the butter on low. (But don't let it brown) Then stir in the other ingredients until the cheese is melted.
